"There is no better time than now, and there will NEVER be ‘the right time’."

You recently made a big career switch; you went from working in an office for the oil and gas industry to becoming a Realtor®️. You did this while taking care of your three kids {two of which are babies!}. Were there ever times when you wanted to give up, and if so, how did you power through?

There were definitely times where I questioned if I was wasting my time, if I’d enjoy real estate. I think second guessing yourself, when it’s really just a fear of the unknown, is totally normal. Armin (my boyfriend), always put me in my place, & reminded me of why I purchased the course in the first place!

Do you have any tips or words of wisdom for anyone looking to make a drastic career change or any other big life change?

DO IT. There is no better time than now, and there will NEVER be ‘the right time’. There is no right time. Like Steve Harvey says, ‘your parachute won’t open if you don’t take that jump!’ (Watch that video on YouTube).

You were affected by the tragic Fort McMurray wildfire last year and had to be evacuated. How has this experience changed your life or view on it?​To be truthful, I try not to think of it too much. I try to keep it behind me. It was a super confusing time for our town, and I think we’re all coming to terms with it in our own way. We’ve lost so much, from homes, to lives, & beautiful forest and landscapes. We’ve really come together as a community, and have realigned our priorities.

What's a regular day like in your life?

Wake up at 7 a.m. Make breakie for the 3 kids. Pack Gabriel’s lunch.Send Gabriel off to school around 8:20.Run errands, groceries, etc. around 9 till 11 a.m.Come home, get lunch ready- typically a cold plate with a variety so they can’t say ‘I don’t like that!’ Haha {editor's note: parents everywhere can relate!}Put the kids down for a nap around 12:45/1:00 p.m.Time for me to get some work done, whether it’s a quick yoga break, social media posts, emails, phone calls, etc.

Kids wake up [from their naps] around 3 p.m., they get a quick snack, we play till Gabriel gets home [from school] at 4:15 p.m., we do his homework, I cook dinner & the kids eat (I clean the house while the kids eat)5:30pm is bath time, followed by bed time.By 6:45 the babies are in bed, and Gabriel typically gets a half hour of iPad or TV time.Two to three days a week, Gabriel has hockey thrown in there!Once the kids go to bed, I read, and I work! I typically get to bed around 11 p.m.(These are days that I’m not doing open houses, networking, showing homes etc!)

When you have time to pamper yourself, what’s your go-to?​Omgsh... this is the grossest but most amazing thing. Footner. Look it up... Haha.
